Philco 38-5 veneer issues, what is this wood?
#9

Any idea why Mr. Hagman no longer recommends this technique? This technique is on my short list of possible options. I have gone as far as getting a cheap iron from Goodwill. The big concern is in getting the edge to stick down where it is on a inside corner (such as the inside edge of the pilaster where it meets the front panel up higher). That is why I am considering disassembling the cabinet.

My second closeup is one such example.

Having pulled the speaker mount board, I think that disassembly is not going to be required. I can access most of the edges that concerned me. The worst part is that on the left hand side, some of the veneer is almost shredded by the cracks along the grain. I will try to see what I can do with it. I have wet the veneer down with a spray bottle to increase its flexibility and I also think I will tie it all together with masking tape. What have I got to lose?

Thanks,
TerryMSU
